Memorial Day Weekend List

I have a country house full of teens and

lots of work to do this weekend...

* Prep work for Pumpkins ....planting date is

to be determined by the state of the garden

this weekend... possibly June 5th, but

definitely no later than June 12th...

* Determine war zones and techniques against

deer, armadillo, turkeys, etc...any suggestions

would be greatly appreciated!

* Weed, weed, weed flower beds...

* Clean up bee hive and ready for new bees!

* Plant more zinnias, sunflowers. All prep

for FlowerCamp.

In the meantime, I'll be cooking, cleaning, and

visiting the "country cannibal" in town. Will report!

Blessings from the Garden.

ps. take a moment or two to remember those

who are in the Garden of Heaven...

'Shrooms...

Perfect day for working on the grounds of my kids' school,

Davidson Fine Arts. My mission: " one of the top

schools in the state of Georgia should have better looking grounds".

To the point...

A unique suprise today while weeding and planting pansies.

Lactarius indigo ("milky blue"). We thought it was some of the student's

pottery showcased in the flower beds, so we ignored it until

one "weeder"actually touched it!

According to the University of Florida Extension, these mushrooms

are not common, grow under oak trees, and are completely edible.

Not me!

Blessings from the Blue Mushroom Garden!

First Blog Attempt!

Hello All.

The New Year brings new challenges! With each New Year, I try to learn something new. 2009 is the year of Blogging and Newsletters related to gardening, plants, floral design and entertaining. Just met a fellow garden clubber who will help me incorporate photos and some other interesting things into the blogs.


My hope is that this will become a question/ answer & inspirational area for you. Also a place where you can visit other gardens with me.


Post one for me!
